THE BLUSH Or RICH
SEPTEMBER.
+4hA+hAAA
About this time the verdant poet
puts in pickle something that will
be served up in the early autumn
about 1.-THE Blush OF Rich Sep
tember.n About this time camp
meeting and picnic orators indulge
in dlfrusiveness concerning the
offended shades and harmonies OF
rich September" About this time
the seaside coquette gives the string
OF her shade hat a jaunty twitch,
and suddenly grows very weary
over what ''somebody promises to
do for somebody In September.
Now, what have you and l got to
do with September
1t is two months distant-two
months Of incalculable mercantile
possibllities-two months of rare
opportunities to the "stay-at-
homes"
We have to do with the present
the immediate, neighborly "close-
at-hand"-the time when we get
hungry and sleepy, and not with
ten days, or twenty days, or sixty
days hence. In this particular in
stance we have to do with the
head rig-the millinery-you are
going to wear this summer. We
would like to do this work for you
All tho year 'round, II we can
but during this summer, anyhow.
1t don't do to look too far ahead.
Last year, about this time, we all
came pretty near getting shook out
Of the millinery and every other
kind OF business. As E. p. Roe
says: "The Earth Trembled."
We propose to make things trem-
BILE in the millinery business.
How? BY doing what no other
house in Washington can or will
do.
We have the stock. We will sell
at lower prices than "Keeclaw"
milliners can bay.
We have the trimmings. And
We have clean slate right here on
the desk to figure variety, quality,
and prices with any bolter in the
pit.
We will sell hats and bonnets at
prices that will blow the dust right
into their eyes.
We will continue to trim FREE,
and when we say trim we mean the
artistic ornamentation of hat or
bonnet; not the crazy.qullt, hotch-
potch turned out by some big al
vertisers.
You are not such fool as not to
know that the reason why We trim
the hat you buy of US is so that We
can sell you the trimmings. The
profit on the hat is something. The
profit on the trimmings is some
thing. And what 1t costs us to
trim we charge of to advertising.
Don't, for one instant, cherish in
your charitable heart the idea that
we are hankering to keep milliners
| busy, or that we love you so deeply
We can work for you for nothing,
| or that we are in business out OF
| sheer innocent amusement, or that
millinery is an insane hobby with
us, or that by budding into an ad-
| vertisement bunch OF soft, sweet
| sounding lies and nonsense we OK

A Sad Death by Drowning.

On Monday the sad intelligence
reached the friends here Of the finding
of the dead body Of Ida Wenner, aged
l9, in ditch on the farm Of her father,
Jacob Wenner, three miles west of this
place. On Sunday evening she retired
in apparently good spirits, and it is
supposed that sometime during the
night she got up in her sleep, dressed,
all but stockings and shoes, and pass
ing out Of the house without awaken
ing the family, wandered along path
leading to pond, thence turned and
followed the ditch until she came to a
fence. She climbed the fence and after
taking a few steps walked into the
ditch which contained about p feet of
water, where her lifeless body was
found, lying face downward, by her
father, at about Z o'clock. The facts
elected at the inquest held by Squire
Meranda, on Tuesday, go to prove that
it was case of accidental drowning, as
there could be no reason assigned to
convey the impression of suicide. The
medical testimony also substantiates
the fact that it was case of accidental
drowning. Deceased was we'll and
favOrably known throughout this Sec
tion, and was the pride of her parents,
in whose affliction their friends extend
them heartfelt sympathy. Her remains
were taken to Hancock county for
burial on Wednesday morning.-Desh-

THE DEMOORAT1C NORTHWEST THURSDAY FEBRUARY g. 1881

How does the worm get into the ap-
pie, an inquisitiye schOol-bOy said to US
the other day, as he was munching
away at an apple and got down to a
worm-eaten core. Perhaps few adult
persons know, or stop to philosophise.
The egg is deposited in the flower. The
worm, as soon as Matched. eats its way
into the embryo apple. 1t works itself
into the centre of the fruit, where 1t re-
mains and grows with the growth of
the apple, which ripens and falls earlier
in consequence, and the worm then
works its way out, works its way into
the ground, or under the bark, and
there spins q cocoon, and finally comes
forth as butterfly.
